Since this is 1970's era and doesn't seem to be exclusive to any genre - seeing that there are rock, country, motown, funk, and disco groups listed - I'll add the following:

1. The Trammps. One of their main hits was Disco Inferno, released in 1976.
2. Barry Manilow. Granted, he wasn't popular with the rockers, but he was a prominent musical figure in the '70s.
3. Def Leppard. The group formed in 1976 under the name Atomic Mass. After a few name changes, they hit upon Def Leppard in 1977
4. Loverboy. Just makes it in - formed in 1979, though their first record did not hit until 1980.

I suppose that's enough for now.

One name I had is Herb Alpert. Just not sure where he fits. Started making music and selling albums in the 60s and is still making music and selling albums into the 2000s.
 
I wanted to make a list from this list and add a few if necessary, remove the ones that don’t fit. It was going to be a starting point. I had a idea but oh well.
That being said, the moral majority is not interested.

In light of our great recent contest , I felt compelled to see what we might have left out in haste.
 
Lots of good stuff on the list, but lots missing. The first thing I checked was Mountain....you got that, good job! You even did/Leslie West.
Leslie West had a solo career with his own albums and should be listed under his own name.
Felix Papalardi same thing, but also in a band called Creation. Felix was also on many other albums by other people and he produced many.
West, Bruce and Lang should have their own too.

It was a copy and paste from another forum(google) lol not my list . I was however going to modify it for basic rock.
 
This to is great, in fact one of my all time favorite singer, song writer guitar players.
This style of music never gets old to me.
The recording from the 70’s is exactly how I would like my recordings to sound.
Bass , drums ? Yes
